Why they (guy & gal) opt for richer, prettier, stupier or etc?

Have you ever wonder why women choose men who are richer? Why men opt for women who are prettier or stupier?

As I see it, generally most relationship fail coz men cheat or career & money instability, whereas women compare, gossip, backstab or cheat.

Imagine this, if you are dating an ugly (or/and) fat (or/and) poor woman, but she end up cheating on you or she likes to make a hell out of your life, wouldn't a guy be happier that he is at least with a gal with the body (or/and) the looks?

For the ladies, if you are dating a poor (or/and) ugly (or/and) fat man, but he end up cheating on you, AND he also uses your hard earn money or physcially (or/and) mentally abuse you, wouldn't a gal be happier that she at least is with a guy that has the money (or/and) looks?

Maybe I am being cynical towards relationship, but trust me as one grow older, these scenarios become a norm. Those who potrays to be in a good relationship or keep talking about how wonderful their relationship/marriage are, they are in fact normally those who have to come out with stories to cover up.

How many attached or married guys or gals of yours came to you and told you how awful is their partner and how they regret getting married (of coz behind their partner's back)? How many told you the truth(s) on what they talk (or/and) do behind their partners? The simpliest and the most innocent people you THOUGHT you know can turn out to be the most manipulate and cunning people you know.

Why are modern women now more prone to be single or married late compared to the previous generation? Since modern women are so independent with financial, career and decisions making, somehow their needs toward men has changed.

Gone were the days where women married to "better their life" whereas men married to "have a family to be responsible & mature".

Generally, women tend to mature faster than men of the same age. Therefore, women prefer to date men who are older. Through experiences and time, a guy is more mature in handling his IQ and EQ and most importantly his partner.

Imagine the girl have to guide the guy in big matters or a guy who is still clueless about his or their future undertakings, whereas the girl have it all planned out with her career, financial and assets. This is where the "not in par" will be a big problem. Men who do not foresee that career stability or financial sound is important for a future to build a family is rather still a dreamer. Sad to say, the truth is - money plays a very important role in a sustainable relationship.

Gone were the days when we are young where we love for the sake of love. When you grow up, you will also know love is not just the matter of "me & you", but it is a union of two families, it comes with lots of huge responsibilities, kids come into the picture and etc. Yeah, tell me about it, it is scary, yet so full of challenges!

Question to ponder: What do you NEED your partner for?
